User Manual

INTRODUCTION

The LD CURV 500 I AMP software is used to update the device firmware, load current loudspeaker presets, manage individual global presets in 16 memory locations, and reset the PIN to factory setting if necessary. The software is compatible with Windows operating systems 7, 8, and 10 and requires a USB interface (version 2.0) for data connection.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Download the software package from the product page at WWW.LD-SYSTEMS.COM, unzip the file, and first of all install the USB driver CDM 2_xx_xx on your Windows PC. Connect the USB port of the CURV 500 I AMP to the USB port of your computer using a suitable USB cable (USB 2.0, USB-A to USB-B)  and switch on the CURV 500 I AMP (driver installation may take a few moments). Start the Device Manager on your computer and check the COM port number of the “Prolific USB-to-serial comm port” under “Ports (COM & LPT)” (in the example, COM6). Now start the software “LD SYSTEMS DSP  UPDATER” (double-click on the software icon). Ensure that baud is set at 57600. If necessary, select the com port number previously checked in Device  Manager under “COM Port” and click on “Connect”. The display field “Status” will change color to green and you can check the correct connection by clicking on the “Test USB” button (USB connection OK). To terminate the connection, click on “Disconnect”.

UPDATE FIRMWARE/SPEAKER PRESETS

Current firmware and loudspeaker preset can be found together in an update file in the download area of the product at WWW.LD-SYSTEMS.COM.
Make sure you follow the instructions exactly during the update process! Otherwise, the amplifier’s device software may be damaged and the amplifier made unusable. If this occurs, the device must be taken to an authorized service center and carefully restored (not covered under warranty!).
Download the latest file, save it to your computer and unzip it. Switch on the CURV 500 I AMP, connect it to your computer, and start the software as described in INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION. Now click on “Firmware” and then on the button “Browse for update file”. Select the previously saved update file in the appropriate folder and click on “Start programming”. The progress of the update process will now be displayed as a percentage and once the process is complete, the CURV 500 I AMP will restart automatically. Wait until the main display is shown on the amplifier display, then switch it off, wait 2 minutes, and then switch the amplifier on again. When the main display reappears, the update process is completed and the amplifier is ready for operation.

RESET PIN TO FACTORY SETTINGS

If the PIN for unlocking the amplifier becomes lost, the software can be used to reset it to factory setting 1234. Connect the CURV 500 I AMP with your computer and start the software as described in INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION. Now click on “Set default PIN: (1234)”. As confirmation of the process, a window with the information “PIN reset OK!” will open. Click on “OK” to close the window. The amplifier can now be unlocked using PIN 1234.

MANAGE GLOBAL PRESETS

Individual settings for the menu items speaker preset, channel volume, delay, routing, equalizer, etc. can be saved internally in global presets and accessed from  16 memory slots. Using the CURV 500 I AMP software, these global presets can be stored separately or together on a PC and uploaded onto the amplifier again. Connect the CURV 500 I AMP to your computer and start the software as described in INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION. Click on “Manage global presets” to open the window to manage the global presets.
